From looking on Chainreaction I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I can basically any bit of my Stinky frame that I need. Very Happy

Its an 04 Dee Lux

My rocker arm/link plate bearings need replacing and I could get a bearings set like so Out of bounds bearing set

or for an extra £20 I could upgrade my plates to some lighter ones, seen here click this as I have the solid plates at the moment.

I'm now undecided as what to do. If I swap for the lighter plates am I going to loose significant amounts of strength? or on the flip-side is the weight saving even worth it?
